Gene variants linked to higher odds of fatty liver disease
In 402,437 people, variants disrupting one copy of a fat-transport gene were linked to higher fatty liver odds, with an odds ratio of 3.2 versus non-carriers.In 402,437 people, variants disrupting one copy of a fat-transport gene were linked to higher fatty liver odds, with an odds ratio of 3.2 versus non-carriers.
